Nice work — always good to see more Slackware-related projects and people still packaging software for the community.
One question though: where are the SlackBuilds? 🙂
Would be really nice to have them in the repo too so other Slackware users can rebuild locally or adapt them for their own systems.
Some of these packages could probably fit well on SlackBuilds.org too.
PS: the editor looks neat, but it's hard for me to get rid of nvi/vi :)

@r1w1s1 Obviously that's the avenue to explore next. Thought about it already, also nice to contribute back indeed. As for the editor: I wouldn't want you to use otherwise ;-)

@r1w1s1 Bottom is already available as a SlackBuild. But it pulls in all Rust crates as a dep, that's why I decided to do a simple rpm2tgz on this one. Less obtrusive. Fresh isn't there, so that would be a relatively new one. For Brave it looks quite straightforward: there's a Slackbuild for Brave, converting the deb. Origin beta provides a deb also, so that one is probably the best to start with. I'll be back ;-)
